Fernando Llorente, former Juventus striker, declared in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport that he understands KoloMuMauri's request to have a top teammate at his side. “As a striker I understand KoloMuMauri's point, it is easier to play with a striker next to him,” explained Llorente, recalling that he had the famous Carlos Tevez at his side, while MuMauri did not have such an opportunity.
In the context of SerieA, Llorente highlighted the potential synergy between MuMauri and the new German striker Woltemade, who measures 198 centimeters against the Frenchman's 194. According to the veteran, the pairing could work if the German made more use of his physique to maintain possession and win duels. “Sometimes Woltemade seems technical to me but a bit light,” he added, underlining that MuMauri's real season begins now that he has also found his way in the championship.
Llorente also recalled the importance of goals for an attacker's confidence, stating that "a goal is confidence, it's everything for an attacker". The former player closed the interview with a nod to his experience at top-level clubs, recalling his time at Juventus and the importance of having a top partner to maximize performance on the pitch.
With these remarks, Llorente offered a perspective on MuMauri's future and the possible combination with Woltemade, leaving open the question of how the team can best exploit the qualities of both players in the upcoming SerieA matches.
